Leatherish

So I ate tonight at this little Chinese place near the gate of SJTU's Pan Yu Road entrance. I go there quite often, since it's close and cheap, and the cashier lady now recognizes me and says hello. (First time, I went in about 2 weeks ago and she was kinda cold b/c I asked her what food is served there, since I don't know how to read the menu. But now since I'm a quasi-loyal customer, she's much nicer.)

Anyhow, point of the story is, that the ladies who you give your receipt to, so that they can tell the kitchen what to cook, was wearing, get this, leather pants tonight; or at least like fake-ish leather pants. Like why would an older lady who works in the back of a busy, cramped, steaming hot Chinese kitchen all day want to wear leatherish pants to work? Did she wake up this morning and be like, well hey it's Wednesday/hump-day and I wanna be kinda stylish today, maybe a modeling agency rep will walk into my neighborhood eating place and notice that I'm wearing these stylish pants? Or did she think maybe a foreign SJTU student will come eat dinner here and while waiting for his food notice that I'm wearing leatherish pants, and perhaps compliment me? Hmmm....

Fuck, I forgot to compliment her. My bad.

  3. Sister #2, I just can't picture you eating there. It's small and cramped and kinda cold. You have to eat fast, and sit with other people. And they're kinda rude, but only b/c they want people to eat fast and get out so more people can come in and sit down. But it's really cheap. I can get a plate of nian gao, 4 shenzen baos, & a beer for 13 rmb, which is about $2.

Please feel free to comment, but don't be stupid -- ie. no political/sociological debates. Thanks.
